Hello there,
I was just procrastinating about doing my chemistry homework and was thinking about different ways to speed up my computer. As most newer and some older laptops have card reader, I though that maybe booting my computer from a flash card would boost the start up time. I have a 2GB SD card and a 4GB SDHC that I could use and do not need for anything else.
The questions I have are:
Is it possible? (I think it would be)
Will it be faster to boot from the internal card reader?
Which is faster? SD or SDHC?
Will there be issues with program installs?
Any other advice or issues you can think off?
Thanks for your response,
GusGold
